‘GTBank locked me out for 24 hours’ — netizens react to app login issues

Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) has left its customers frustrated and helpless as a result of an inability to access the mobile app ‘GTWorld’.

The development comes against the background of an update which was expected to improve the app’s features but instead led to login issues for customers.

The bank had, on Tuesday, informed its customers via text and email messages that its app would be automatically updated to the new version on July 12.

“On the 12 July, we will release the new and updated version of the GTWorld Mobile Banking App to Play Store and App Store. This means that when you launch the GTWorld Mobile Banking App, you will see a newly designed interface if you have App Updates set on automatic,” the notice reads.
